From my modding queue. I am sorry to post a veto mod here, due to timing problem, primarily, and the overall quality of the beatmap.
[General]
> As Stefan had mentioned, the Kiai starting time is weird. The start of Kiai should be the starting note (either the Vocal/ Instrument) of Chorus, i.e. 01:05:556 - in Kantan - Muzukashii, / 01:05:384 - in Oni . Otherwise, please explain why do you want to start the Kiai at 01:05:899 - . With shifted Kiai, 01:05:899 - these Finishers are weird after all, please remove the Finish as well.

[Timing]
> A new red timing point should be set at 00:02:470 - . It is the 'real' start of the music and thereby by needing a red timing point for indicating a re-set metronome (on-beat). A further evidence for its presence is 00:13:441 - , which is the 9th bar. Normally, music is divided in 8 bars for a section. My suggestion should work.
> In addition, as you are not going to map anything before 00:02:470 - , 00:01:099 - can be removed. (Just directly use ONE inherited timing point at 00:02:470 - .)
[Akemi's Kantan]
> Looks good
[Futsuu]
> 00:28:356 (4,5,6) - They are out of track. 00:27:156 - / 00:28:527 - in terms of melody, they are the same. A same or similar structure is expected (nnn nnn on the on-beat starting). Maybe you can also try using patterns that fit the vocal completely (like what you did in Muzukashii at 00:27:156 - ).
Give you some suggestion 00:27:156 (1) - :
> ^ I prefer this pattern since it is less complicated and able to show consistencies with the music.
> ^ This pattern may be too complicated for Futsuu and does not bring a good density spread later on, not really preferred any way.
> 00:34:184 - / 00:45:156 - remove it since you left a gap at 00:31:441 - / 00:42:413 - , the pattern of 00:33:841 - & 00:31:099 - should be consistent.
> 00:37:270 - K suits more than D does due to the high pitch.
> 00:39:327 - same as 00:28:356 - , fix it on your own based on what you are going to fix at 00:28:356 - .
> 01:00:070 - add Finish to state the strong and high-pitch vocal?
> 01:05:899 - As mentioned above in General, please remove Finish effect, or please explain why you would like to do so (I guess you want to emphasize the trumpet, but that is not necessary to do so because you mapping channel follows the vocal pretty solidly). 01:05:556 - The on-beat cymbal crash is more noticable comparing with the trumpet, therefore it worths a Finish instead of putting it at 01:05:899 - .(In normal situation Finisher is used in the first beat except special cases, and yours is not)
^ 01:11:384 - same as above ^
> 01:12:756 - how about shifting 1/2 backward to 01:12:584 - for the sake of vocal presence there? Check 01:23:556 - as well, the vocal rhythm is the same, and hence the pattern you mapped should also be the same and consistent.
> 01:23:899 - please shift this note to 01:24:070 - . It should be consistent with 01:13:099 - .
> 01:38:127 - how about changing it to k for the consistency?
[Muzukashii]
> 00:27:156 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - pretty much the same with Futsuu's situation. 00:28:013 (4,5,6,7,8) - is completely off from instrumental part or vocal part.
How about 00:27:156 (1) - :
00:27:156 - / 00:28:527 - show the vocal perfectly by d kd
00:28:527 (6) - is d because there are higher pitches of vocal at 00:28:184 (4,5) - .
> 00:30:413 - shift 1/2 forward to 00:30:584 - in order to match the vocal please.... The current position sounds really off.
> 00:33:156 - same as above, shift it to 00:33:327 - this time. If you follow vocal, then keep following it.
> 00:33:499 - you may change it to k for variation purpose.
> 00:37:270 - K here sounds better especially you have D at 00:36:927 - . K D K can show the vocal pitch flow very well.
> 00:38:127 - same as 00:27:156 - , also please fix it on your own.
> 00:41:384 - same case at 00:30:413 -
> 00:41:727 - k may be changed as you use 'kat' as the main theme in this section.
> 00:58:699 (98) - Shouldn't it also be a Finisher? Be consistent with 00:54:584 - / 00:55:956 - / 00:57:327 -
! 01:05:899 - same question about the use of Kiai and Finisher here, you need to explain why you would like to map like this.
[Oni]
> 00:25:784 (106,107,108,109) - Finishers here should make more sense than small notes since their dynamic is identical to 00:24:756 (104,105) - . Meanwhile, you use Finishers in the same in other difficulties (Futsuu and Muzuashii). Consistency across difficulties should be well considered.
> 00:37:270 - same as above
> 00:44:299 - Here's an obvious density drop comparing with the patterns at 00:33:327 - , they are meant to be rhymatically similar, but now they are not.
> 00:51:499 (9,10) - how about ctrl+G (d k) considering their pitch differences?
> 01:00:070 (45) - You definitely missed a Finisher right here.
> 01:05:384 - as mentioned in General, you can start the Kiai at this timing since you emphasize the start with this don on the vocal note.
> 01:09:841 - It is fine for being a kat in Muzukashii, but you need some appropriate changes in Oni since players should be able to play more complicated patterns like polychrome 1/2 patterns. This note should be a d to represent the vocal pitch flow more clearly.
> 01:18:070 - similar case at 00:44:299 - . This time, it shows an extra progression by mapping both trumpets and vocal. While 01:07:099 - is straightly mapping to the vocal. 01:18:756 - should be empty hence. A progression is not really needed in this song as there is no obvious stronger music at the second part of Chorus.
> 01:09:156 - absolutely the same case as above, remove it due to the blank at 01:20:127 -
> 01:25:784 - you can put a kat here to fulfil all musical elements before the spinner, if you like.
> 01:26:813 - I don't think it is good to add a little stream right here since the drum set is pretty weak and you are not likely following the drum along the whole song anyway. It is strange and out of your mapping channel. Just ending the spinner at 01:27:156 - would be fine.
> 01:37:870 - if you put a kat at 01:38:213 - , you should also put one at 01:37:870 - since your mapping style here is like completely following the drum set. Two clear triplets can be heard at 01:37:784 - and 01:38:127 - , so kkd kkd K is more suitable.

I should have posted this mod earlier before Surono's work....
GL with this mapset now.
